[PATCH] serial: imx: Only enable UART DMA on i.MX6Q and i.MX53

From: Kai Ruhnau <kai.ruhnau at target-sg.com>

In 1c06bde6 with the introduction of DMA support for the i.MX53 platform,
DMA was enabled for all platforms instead. On an i.MX6SX (which is a
IMX21_UART), this breaks gpsd talking to an UART module with

 imx-uart 21f4000.serial: DMA transaction error.

This patch makes sure, UART DMA is only activated for i.MX53 and i.MX6Q.
